The defender Gonzalo Piovi continues with field work due to a sprain in his left knee and remains a doubt to replace the expelled Eugenio Mena in next Sunday’s match against Unión, for the 21st Professional League date. Piovi will be evaluated during the rest of the week by the coaching staff headed by Fernando Gago to determine his inclusion instead of the Chilean Mena, who saw the red card against Platense last date.
In the event that Piovi does not arrive in physical conditions against “Tatengue”, the left side could be occupied by Facundo Mura, while on the other sector Iván Pillud would return. In addition to Mena, summoned by the Chilean national team for the FIFA date, Racing will also not be able to count on goalkeeper Gabriel Ariasalso expelled against Platense. It would be his replacement Gastón Gómez, who trained alongside the rest of his teammates after recovering from a soleus strain in his right leg.
Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas, who suffers from a pubic ailment, did work in the field and may not be available on Sunday. Who could reappear after having served two suspension dates is midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, so the coach Gago will have to decide if he will return ownership or if he will keep Jonathan Gómez.
